Portmeirion - Hercules in front of the Town Hall

            Portmeirion is a village on the Dwyryd estuary in Gwynedd, North Wales. It was constructed between 1925 and 1975 by the architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. Although Portmeirion has featured in several films and documentaries, it is best known as "The Village" in the cult 1967 television series "The Prisoner". 

This picture, taken a night (2 Sec, f/2.0, ISO 100), shows a statue of Hercules in front of the Town Hall in Portmeirion. 

The Town Hall was designed and commissioned by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. It is built in the Jacobean style with masonry on the ground floor and brick with a stucco on the first floor. It was completed in 1938. The statue of Hercules is by the Scottish sculptor William Brodie (1830–1867). It was cast in 1863 and purchased by Clough Williams-Ellis in 1960.
